Ever since I read about this "I feel" thing I've noticed many many girls say it. And I have never once herd a man say it, ever.

Men don't feel. We analyze data and observe then come to a logical conclusion. Women make statements backed up by nothing and men are expected to shut up and deal with it, or give them an intellectual pass because deep down we know they have the minds of children.

Women make statements backed up by nothing? Women have the minds of children? Women can't observe and analyze data? Women can't come to logical conclusions?

Like Marie Curie, she won both a Nobel prize in chemistry and in physics thanks to her inability to think logically. She discovered the elements radium and polonium precisely because of her inability to observe and analyze data.

And Rosalind Franklin, whose work in x-ray crystallography was crucial to discovering the structure of DNA, she certainly couldn't observe or analyze data. Not at all.

When Wilhemina Fleming and Annie Jump Cannon helped develop the classification system we use for stars, they did so based only on "feeling." There was no logic in it all, and it was in no way based on their observations or any sort of data.

When Henrietta Swan Leavitt discovered the period-luminousity relationship of Cepheid variables, she certainly didn't do any observation or data analysis of any sort. She discovered an important standard candle and influenced astronomy not because of observing data and drawing logical conclusions. No, it was all based on her "feelings."

When Ada Lovelace wrote what essentially amounts to the first computer algorithm, it had absolutely nothing at all to do with her own careful notes and observations and ability to draw logical conclusions. It had nothing to do with her analytical skill as a mathematician. It was only because of her "feelings."

Need I go on? After all, there are plenty of other women renowned for helping the advance of science with their inability to observe or analyze data and draw logical conclusions from it. There are plenty of other women who contributed to modern science and technology by making important discoveries based only on their "feelings" with their "minds of children."

I analysed your message and came to the logical conclusion that you have no fucking idea of what you're talking about.

Also, observation is either a prerequisite of, or included in, analysis. "We analyze data and observe" ("and stuff" ?) isn't exactly a phrase I would expect from a mind as familiar with rational thinking as yours.

I feel that AC101202 relies too much on his feelings of insecurity. He has to feel that he is somehow superior to women in order to persuade himself that though he is a useless, thoughtless lump, at least he can claim that he belongs to the princely grouping of noble, clear thinking men. A mighty godling he, not like those silly women. See how he strides manfully across the land bestowing his wit and wisdom on all within earshot. See how the women swoon with the knowledge that a super-mind postures before them. An intellect so mighty that the combined forces of womanhood can only twitter and flutter inconsequentially before the majestic utterances of his oh so clear and logical mind. Therefore, he prefers to consign all women to the same group of simpering weaklings to which his mother belongs.

from my experience, it's the exact opposite. WOMEN are logical and rational, and MEN act on feeling and make statements backed up by jack shit. You got it backwards. Of course, what do I know, being a man and all...

Not that I'm a mental giant, but I am in pursuit of an IT B.A. at the moment. The men outnumber the women in my classes, very true, but those women are every bit as sharp as any man there. And the men are smart enough to know that spouting this sort of drivel will guarantee them a life of great loneliness.

I encounter men and women who both make baffling claims and statements that they believe are perfectly rational but only serve to confuse the hell out of others.

I encounter children whose simple logic and uncomplicated world-views should rightfully shame those who consider themselves thinkers.

I think and feel that I'm surrounded by squabbling idiots who give children a bad name and a worse future by obsessively dividing the world in terms of boys vs girls and black vs white in a comparison that belongs in a schoolyard.
